Step-by-Step: Make, Layer, and Air-Fry Your Rotiboy Toast Bites

1. Prepare the Base Batter
   
   • Cream 120g margarine or butter with 140g icing sugar using your spatula until smooth and fluffy.
   • Whisk in 2 eggs until fully combined.
   • Sift in 140g all-purpose flour. Mix until you get a soft, cohesive batter.
   • Divide evenly into four bowls—one for each flavor.
   
2. Create Four Flavored Batters
   
   • For each flavor, mix the powder with 20ml hot water in a small bowl:
   • Chocolate powder
   • Red velvet powder
   • Instant coffee
   • Matcha powder
   • Stir each paste, then blend each one into a portion of base batter until you get a vibrant result.
   
3. Load Up the Piping Bags
   
   • Spoon each flavored batter into its own piping bag, sealing tightly.
   • Snip a small tip for controlled piping.
   
4. Prep Bread & Cheese Filling
   
   • Lay out your white bread slices and spread with a light layer of margarine/butter.
   • Add a slice of cheese if desired, topping with a second bread slice to sandwich.
   • Slice into quarters or bite-sized cubes.
   
5. Pipe On Those Gorgeous Toppings
   
   • Use piping bags to top each bread bite with one of the four flavored batters. Pipe generously until the top is fully coated.
   
6. Air Fry to Crispy Perfection
   
   • Arrange toast bites in the air fryer basket (don’t overcrowd).
   • For a soft finish, air fry at 150°C (300°F) for 10–15 minutes.
   • For a crispier, crunchier bite, go for 180°C (355°F) for 10 minutes.
   
7. Serve & Enjoy
   
   • Let cool slightly for best texture—then dig in!
   

Insider Tips for Perfect Rotiboy Toast Bites Every Time

• Ensure the flavored batters are not too runny; adjust with a little extra flour if needed.
• Pick cheese that melts well for the ultimate gooey center.
• Don’t overcrowd the basket—air needs to circulate to crisp every bite.
• Piping tip: Snip just a small hole for control and consistent coverage.
• For picture-perfect shapes, let the toast bites rest a few minutes after air frying—the crust will set and be easier to handle.

These Rotiboy Toast Bites are a crispy, sweet, and savory snack inspired by the signature Rotiboy bun but in a toast bite format—impossible to eat just one!
